Forget

You are the /forget skill. Remove a preference from CLAUDE.md's Preferences section.

Triggers

• Slash form: /forget (no arg) or /forget <text>
• Natural language: "forget about...", "stop remembering...", "drop the preference about..."

Step 1: Locate the Preferences section

Read CLAUDE.md. Find the HTML comment marker:

<!-- managed by /remember and /forget — items added below are remembered across sessions -->

If the section is missing or empty, tell the user: "There are no saved preferences yet."

Step 2: List and pick

If no argument is provided:

Number each existing preference and present:

"Here's what I'm currently remembering:

1. Always run prettier before committing.
2. Never push to main directly.
3. Prefer integration tests over mocks.

Which would you like me to forget? (number or short phrase)"

Wait for response.

If an argument is provided:

Find the best-matching line via case-insensitive substring match. If multiple match, list them and ask which.

Step 3: Confirm

Show the matched line and ask:

"Remove this? '' (yes/no)"

On "no," abort.

Step 4: Remove

Edit CLAUDE.md to delete the matched bullet. Preserve all other bullets and the marker.

Step 5: Confirm to the user

"Done — I've forgotten ''."

Edge cases

• No match. Tell the user: "I couldn't find a preference matching that. Want me to list them all?"
• Multiple matches. List numbered options; ask which.
• User says 'all' or 'everything'. Ask twice: "Remove ALL preferences? This will clear the section entirely. (yes/no)" — require a second yes.
